Thanks Rob. We swapped out the R/R last year with a ‘Forum Approved’ model after the bike left us stranded on the side of the road just as a rain storm hit. We still have a couple of things to try … more riding being one of them. |

That's a step up from a LAMS bike. Photos please ... considering most of us are 'old-school' it'd be a bit different. |

The little Monsters were first ... and without a problem. The Stupidbike was a little more reluctant but started after a couple of tries ... but once again Trev was the temperamental one. Considering his namesake's current career option you wouldn't expect charging and electrical problems ... but perhaps it is just one of life's cruel ironies. Anyway we have a couple of options to pursue (he was probably just feeling a little neglected).
Charged the battery and all went well for a trip out to lunch with the Boss today ... man it is getting cold ... I am obviously getting old. A few spots of rain in a couple of places the obligatory police presence and an RTA mobile camera to keep us in line. I can see it being a struggle to keep the battery topped up through regular use. |

Just a little bit of general maintenance here Brian we've not met yet but can you set the front and rear up for a rider 175lbs with gear on. You're Ducs been offered up in case mine cant be shipped to AUS from Virginia. I keep my S4R pretty clean so she will be in good hands. Thanks for getting the service done ahead of my arrival. |

Today I removed the Mack truck mudguard from my 1200S and fitted a OEM tyre hugger. Much better!
Great day for a ride!

175 pounds equals 80kilos, dam close to my weight Tricolore could possibly be on the market if all goes well. And speaking of "wells" , how many of them are you willing to trade me for it ? Is an unmolested top of the tree Monster (none of this non water cooled crap). Was originally owned by the Shah of Persia i'm told, never left his pool room till I aquired it. Did I also mention that it has a slipper clutch ? They are very popular around Sydney (for the chosen few that is). |
